Wordless Wednesday

Honestly are there any words needed for this post. 

Homemade Pizza

I love our little military post. At first I was concerned about the size of the comisarry. Then I realized that small works in my benefit. The sales are amazing. 

Recently I picked up crescent rolls for 75 cents. I normally would not buy them unless they were for a recipe. I did not realize until I got them home that they were garlic flavored. Glad I realized before I filled it with chocolate and peanut butter. 

So I had two options be mad that they are or what I planned on or turn it into wonderful homemade pizza. 

  I am now glad I made this mistake and could make pizza for lunch.

Safety

When we work on making soap we have to be super careful. Jacob agrees that safety comes first. 

This week we decided to use a ladder to make sure no littles came in the room. They could have easily came over the ladder or through it. It was a gentle reminder that they should not come in the kitchen. 

Sometimes we forget that kids  are kids and that even though they hear you when you speak they are kids. So just because I tell them to stay out of the kitchen they get excited and have to run in. Even though I say stay away from the road the ball will roll in the road and they will take off running without looking. 

So I try to put gentle reminders in place.

We have always played a game. We start the game when they learn to walk. We practice it even when they are ten. No matter where we are I will suddenly yell STOP. The game is to see who will stop the fastest. 

This helps as a gentle reminder that they need to listen. That way when we are walking through a parking lot and a car pulls out they will be able to stop without thinking about it. 

  I would love to hear some of the ways you help your kids obey. 

For me it is about learning for the long term.

Ketchup

In our house ketchup is a meal. I buy it by the case. 

Yesterday the kids brought up three cases of ketchup only they were empty. So we had dinner without ketchup. They were not happy. I kindly reminded them that if they brought the trash upstairs then mom would know to buy more. 

  What are the staples in your house? For us we must have ketchup and baby carrots.

Saturday's

This is my first Saturday at home in months. I love the farmers market but I have to be honest, I miss this.

Babies are not little for very long.
